Flaubert had a room for shouting. He called it his gueuloir : he would yell his sentences out loud, alone, for hours. Any sentence that failed the shouting test got rewritten.
The pretty word flatters on the page and dies out loud. The right word survives both.
Try it, nobody's watching. Read your last paragraph out loud and listen for where your own voice stumbles : that's the spot.
